Almodóvar Gets Duplicitous With 'Broken Embraces'new
Broken Embraces is a strange little suspense film. It contains only a few strategic betrayals and outright deceptions, but a great many unspoken secrets and many lies of omission. Maybe it's too mature for the good old double-cross, but it is certainly not too subtle to include a few revelations and theatrical set pieces.

Women's Worknew
The opening shots of Almodovar's lyrical, emotionally lush Volver feature a band of women, young and old, vigorously scrubbing down the tombs of their provincial town's menfolk.

Fortunate Sonnew
This film directed by the son of Michael Eisner is a stunning piece of work -- stunningly inept, stunningly incoherent, stunningly awful in every way imaginable.
